The Problem of the Fetish Pietz William
A groundbreaking account of the origins and history of the idea of fetishism.In recent decades, William Pietz's innovative history of the idea of the fetish has become a cult classic. Tracing the idea of the fetish from its origins in the Portuguese colonization of West Africa to its place in Enlightenment thought and beyond, Pietz reveals the violent emergence of a foundational concept for modern theories of value, belief, desire, and difference.
